Art Cars and Transport

This year the playa abounded with art cars, in spite of the supposed tighter restrictions on them. Some were truly impressive, though few kept to the spiritual theme. In fact, there were more nautical cars left over from last year. Others were clearly people who were desperate for something to get around the too-large city, and some simply bypassed the rules altogether.
